Founding G3 members Vai, and more recently Satriani, sold out previous Australian solo show dates leaving audiences dazzled by their brilliant artistry and showmanship. In the year marking the 10th anniversary of the original G3 US tour, G3 returns to Australia this December! Satriani, Vai, and Petrucci cut through 40 minute individual sets backed by their own bands, before the wizardry climaxes in a combined electrifying G3 jam.
